Private sector investments provide a critical margin of support that enables SKCTC to pursue excellence in classroom instruction, training for business and industry, continuing education, cultural enrichment, community service, and economic development.

We consider it an honor to recognize the benefactors who invest significantly in our mission and vision. Your name, or the name of someone you wish to honor, will be recognized in a special way for your support of the Fulfilling the Promise Campaign for SKCTC as outlined in this brochure. Additional naming opportunities may be developed at your request. Named giving opportunities are offered for current gifts, cash pledges over a five-year period, and irrevocable planned gifts such as charitable trusts.

Please consider the following naming opportunities as you consider your investment in the Fulfilling the Promise Campaign for Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College.

SKCTC offers a number of endowment opportunities for naming purposes. Gifts provided by donors for endowments are held and invested in perpetuity to generate earnings now and in future years to support the donor's intended purpose. Annual income generated by endowments can be used to support faculty and students, programs, and/or operational needs of SKCTC.

An endowed chair is a distinction awarded by the KCTCS Board of Regents to a faculty member in recognition of significant contributions to the individual's academic discipline. An endowed chair may also be held by the current chair or director of an academic division. In addition to the academic honor given to the individual, an endowed chair or professorship provides funding for support of his or her teaching, research, and service responsibilities, and is supported by annual income from a permanently invested endowment fund. Income may also be used to support the base salary of the endowed chair or professorship, unless expressly prohibited by the donor or gift agreement.

An endowed lectureship is a temporary appointment and may be given to a visiting scholar in temporary residence or may be used to support a lecture series on the topic for which the lectureship was created.

Your investment in Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College will make a significant impact on the lives of our students and the communities we serve.

SKCTC will name endowed scholarships to support students attending classes on any of its five campuses. Donors may designate the name, purpose and criteria for awarding scholarships from the income generated by the endowment.

Several capital construction projects have been planned for SKCTC, and some have been started. A variety of naming opportunities will be available on each of SKCTC's five campuses. Funds are needed to equip a large classroom building currently under construction on the Whitesburg campus. On the Cumberland campus, work needs to begin to enclose the portico on Falkenstine Hall to create more office space for faculty and staff. Libraries must be established, updated, and maintained on SECC's Harlan and Pineville campuses. On the Middlesboro campus, work needs to begin on a specialized facility that will provide training for the National Park Service and others who need tailored educational programs.

And, there are a variety of other "capital" naming opportunities on each of SKCTC's five campuses in addition to those listed. Sample guidelines for capital naming opportunities include:

Exterior Building Name - 25 percent of current value, or 25 percent of total capital campaign fund-raising goal.
